This book comes out of a conference in April of 1999 at the Center
for European Studies at Harvard University on the topic of 'Gender
Parity and the Liberal Tradition: Proposals and Debates in Europe
and the United States.' It is a collection of short essays that
attempt to capture the theoretical arguments and policy changes
presented at the conference. The essays are divided into three
sections, each of which approaches from a different angle the
central question of whether liberalism has failed women. The first
section aims to frame the discussion by outlining the theoretical
arguments for the amendments or revisions implied by the proponents
of the Parity Movement in Europe and for the concerns raised by
critics. The second describes recent changes in party rules,
European legal framework, and national constitutions, as well as
the gains made by women in response to rule change. The third
section provides American perspectives on the lessons that parity
advocates might draw from affirmative action policies and
speculations about how parity rules would work in the American
context. The essays are drawn from top European and American
scholars.
